Java StringBuilder append long String error

Question

I tried to append a long String (length of 3000) with java StringBuilder and found out that the appended result is not what I expected.

A.append(B) should be AB

A.append(LongString) becomes A________________(empty spaces)

Any idea?

Which version of Java are you using. It worked fine for me on Java 6 update 26. — Peter Lawrey

seems like a bug in the Eclipse console that display 404040 as space. They look fine if I copy and paste into notepad. Interesting. — user355636

Eclipse has a few bug with rendering very long lines (well past 1000 characters, at least). They can lead to ugly rendering errors or (as in your case) simply to empty lines. — Joachim Sauer

What did you get as output? I got:

sb-320 :404040....
sb-4320:404040....

Truncated for readability, but its correct. I think you may have counted the digits incorrectly. Double check?

There isn't any problem, that I see.
